Helped? If you isolate kid from its friends for 18 months and imprison it in small room, it will become suicidal. There is no need for abusive parents. Lockdowns themselfs are evil!
It’s probably worth noting that Japan hasn’t had that kind of lockdown. Schools, after school activities, etc for most part have continued throughout the pandemic.
When you say "for the most part", what do you mean?
There was a period of extended school holidays last year due to the pandemic. Also some schools did suspend after school care and extracurricular activities during the states of emergency. The details probably vary widely across the country and no doubt people have been impacted, but remote schooling hasn’t really been a thing (as far as I know).
Thank you for the reply and clarification. I think I understand what is being said. Initially, I parsed the statement to mean that only a small fraction of schools closed.
that's not what article says:
"Also, a record high of over 190,000 students of elementary and junior high schools stopped attending."
Is it necessary to constantly lie about what kind of lockdowns various countries had?
Shitposting about child suicides now? Very mature.
